SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[[PTM]Al_Pacino]

I dont care if it's called BETA 4 or Codename blablabla, it was just to improve the context Ash.

[terasss]

What did the recent update fix? The one that is 0.2 GB

[Claude_Lib]

BTW, Silent, the latest VCSPC.dll available via upgrader is different from one you sent me via PM. What's the difference?

Well put it this way, if there are map updates between builds, you'd tell people to get the next build release as that map area WILL automatically be included in that installer. You get it?

[Silent]

 

I still want to know how you guys are keeping saves working. I remember with GTA LC, I'd download the mod, beat the story, then a new update comes out, my save doesn't work anymore and I've got to start over. That was annoying.

SCM handling has been rebuilt a bit in order to allow that.

 

NO, not possible to port it to SA.

Yes, it has some additional fixes, but it also has the things we've tested. Safe and recommended to update.

Did you have a look at the problem regarding weapons disappearing? If I'm not wrong, they are gone as soon as the cutscene starts

[TheRock92]

So any chance of new updates soon ?

[Ash_735]

All enthusiasm has died out, we'll get back to it at some point, no date can be given, we're just surrounded by people shouting at us about bugs and broken things and demanding to fix them, etc,

Ahhhhh...come on...you gotta be kidding me...you cant just leave the progress and everything...at least finish chapter one...

Hope there's sarcasm, the way this is said?

Yeah, when Ash uses "", then it must be sarcasm. ;]

Let them take a break. They've certainly earned it. Mods like this are meant to be fun, but they're also a lot of work. Sometimes you need to take a few steps back to recharge your batteries. I think that if someone is pushed too much, without enough reward, then they're far more likely to completely quit.

[DrMogilus]

Really, give 'em a break. They were working almost non-stop on the Blue Hesper.

 

There's so much work done by now, and all that is to make you all happy to finally play the PC version of VCS. Be grateful. This isn't just a one day work.

Yeah,indeed !!! They deserve and earned the right to have break after that hard work !!!

Guys, have you thinked about making translation of your game to Russian language? I want and can help you with this. Cut-scene's subtitles, main menu, map legend etc. Not a "machine" translation by Google Translator, but "free-speech" translate designed in pure style of game atmosphere. Without using of bad words, ofc.

[CriminaL277]

I was hanging out in the game, but it's crashed.

I'm glad to hear that, but maybe not now, we're very busy in other things.

You guys should really take a break,because working on something like this is very tiring.Besides,the mod works just fine and is absolutely playable,yes there are some bugs and the map is incomplete but still alot of things are done very well and its enjoyable just to be in Vice City once again.So take your time with this and come back when you can.Fixing bugs can wait.

That would be silly to port it to SA. The old SA saves will not work if it was ported to SA because I'm willing to bet the SCM would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. Anything in SA's script that I'd like to add can be done via Cleo, and I don't plan to make any extra missions.

 

Now, for other TC mods, that is a different story. But that would have to be worked out between the developers of the other TC and you guys. It really would only be needed if there is another SA TC that is developing a story line, but I don't see any other SA TC's with that besides LCS PC Edition, but I'm not even sure whats going on with that.

 

Anyways, you guys could set up some sort of organized system to sort out the bugs and keep everyone on the same page.

One thing you guys can do is release a bug log that has all the bugs listed so that way those who know how to read won't be posting things you already know about. Something kinda like your progress check lists. No X means you will get to it, blue X means its being worked on, and Yellow X means its fixed. Once the fixes are released as a patch you then take them off the list. If your afraid that the first post will clutter up, you can always just include it in a text file.

Another idea is to have a testing dropbox, so select people can report bugs they encounter. They will be able to see all the reported bugs so if they find one, they will know whether or not to report it. For a bug you would have a bug folder, and in that folder people would make folders and name them after the bug. In those folders they can put dmp files, screenshots and text files stating what they were doing in the game.

 

Having everyone report bugs through the forum can get very disorganized, especially when people come on the forum later and don't know a bug has been reported because the report is berried in 5 pages.

[Salarija]

You should consider adding donations and contact tabs on your site

[elMarcoPL]

@nk - testing squad does it just by the way you described. No worries, I have put almost all bugs on DB mentioned here even before people had their hands on it. Yeah, and I'm playing the story all over and over with each new update. Don't be worried with that case. The only thing which I'm worried about is the team.. they work the way too hard.

CITY_POKE912 DOESN'T REST. CITY_POKE912 CONVERTS.

 

 

The guy is already converting nbeach. I'm starting to think he's a machine, sent by Skynet ...

 

 

 

@Craig Kostelecky: What is this GTA LC that you are leading? I saw some posts, but where can I have full information about it?

what you mean by this

[Tranquil_Suit]

Very first screenshots from nbeach:

Sweet, can we get a new progresss map now? Preferably where the seperate map pieces are named.

[Ash_735]

- Fire Extinguisher

- Flowers

- Poolcue

- Shovel

- Spraycan

 

All textures for these have been edited slightly to fit in more with the VCS environment, might be added in the next update or something if we find a good place to spawn on map.

[undergroundvicious]

Ash, after all, are you still on Team or not? You keep working as you always did...
